Born in Vermont, Barlow was educated mainly in New York, completing his education at the Wesleyan Seminary. He read law in the office of a prominent attorney in Batavia, New York and was admitted to the bar in 1839. That same year he came to St. Louis and soon appointed assistant to General John Ruland, clerk of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County. Three years later he was made chief deputy to James Walsh, clerk of that court. Two years after that, the county court appointed him county clerk and recorder of deeds to fill out the unexpired term of a deceased official. In 1847 he was elected to that office. While serving as a county official, he had also been active in promoting railway and other enterprises of important to St. Louis. Then in 1853, the St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad Company was permanently organized and he was made its secretary and treasurer. Upon the expiration of his term as clerk and recorder he turned his entire attention to railroad affairs, becoming president of the railroad company in 1859. For seven years thereafter he remained at the head of this corporation, and was known as one of the ablest of the old-time Western railway managers. In 1868 the Iron Mountain Railroad and its franchises were sold and a reorganization of the company followed. For a few years thereafter Mr. Barlow was not officially identified with the corporation. However, in 1873, he resumed connection with it as assistant to the president. Later he became local treasurer and eventually secretary of the Iron Mountain branch after consolidation with the Missouri Pacific system. As early as 1857 he served as a member of the Board of Public Schools, and was re-elected several times. As its president he contributed greatly to the building of the public school system of St. Louis. During the years 1865-6, while a member of the Missouri Legislature, he obtained a charter for the Public School Library Association, which founded the present public library, and was its first president. In 1867, he served as a member of the Board of Water Commissioners of St. Louis, and in 1869 was elected city comptroller, serving until 1871. While acting in that capacity, he formulated the “Cole-Barlow Charter,” which was enacted by the Legislature. After the adoption of the existing “scheme and charter” he was elected a member of the first city council provided for therein and served until 1879, being chairman of the committees on ways and means, and railroads. He was originally a Whig in his political affiliations, but later joined the “Free Soil” movement, being one of the small number of Missourians who took a bold stand against the extension of slavery. He later became a supporter of the Republican party.

Barlow, Stephen Douglas, distinguished as railway official and public man, was born in Middlebury, Vermont, February 4, 1816, and died in St. Louis August 8, 1895. His father was Jonathan K, Barlow, member of a New England family, which has numerous eminent representatives. His mother was Miss Honor Douglas before her marriage, and was an aunt of the late distinguished Illinois Senator and statesman, Stephen A. Douglas. Reared mainly in New York State, Stephen D. Barlow obtained his early education in the common schools of Genesee County, and completed his education at the Wesleyan Seminary, near Rochester, New York. He read law in the office of a prominent attorney of Batavia, New York, and was admitted to the bar in 1839. The same year he came to St. Louis, arriving on November 12th. Shortly afterward he was appoined assistant to General John Ruland, clerk of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, and in 1842, after the creation of the Court of Common Pleas, he was made chief deputy to James W. Walsh, clerk of that court. Two years later the county court appointed him county clerk and recorder of deeds to fill out the unexpired term of a deceased official. In 1847, he was elected to this office by the people, and in 1848 entered upon a six years term, which expired in 1854. While serving the people with consipicuous ability as a county official, he had also been active in promoting railway and other enterprises of importance to the city, and when, in 1853, the St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad Company was permanently organized, he was made its secretary and treasurer. Upon the expiration of his term as clerk and recorder he turned his entire attention to railroad affairs, and by successive re-elections continued in the position of secretary and treasurer of the railroad company until 1859 when he became president.
For seven years thereafter he remained at the head of this company and was known as one of the ablest of the old-time Western railway managers. When the Iron Mountain Railroad and its franchises were sold to satisfy a claim which the State of Missouri held against it for aid rendered to the enterprise. A reorganization of the company followed this sale, and for a few years thereafter Mr. Barlow was not officially identified with the corporation. In 1873, however, he resumed connection with it as assistant to Honorable Thomas Allen, president. Later he became local treasurer of the company, and after the purchase of the road by Jay Gould in 1878, which resulted in its consolidation with the Missouri Pacific system, he was retained as secretary of the Iron Mountain branch and commissioner of lands in Missouri. Both these offices he continued to hold until the day of his death. During his long and active connection with the railway interests of Missouri he was much in the public eye, and in that sense was a public iruiti for more than forty years. As a city and county official he also rendered many years of faithful and efficient service to the people, and the force and influence of his constructive genius was felt in almost every department in the city government. As early as 1857 he served as a member of the Board of Public Schools, and was several times re-elected to that body. As its president particularly he contributed greatly to the upbuilding of the splendid public school system of St Louis. During the years 1865-6, while a member of the Missouri Legislature, he obtained a charter for the Public School Library Association which founded the present public library. He was its first president. In 1866 he was appointed a member of the board of managers of the State Asylum for the Insane, at Fulton, Missouri. In 1867-8 he served as a member of the Board of Water Commission of St. Louis, and in 1869 was elected comptroller, serving until 1871. While serving in that capacity he formulated the "Cole-Barlow charter," which was enacted by the Legislature. After the adoption of the existing "scheme and charter" 'he was elected a member of the first city council provided for therein, and served until 1879, being chairman of the committees on ways and means, and railroads. He was originally a Whig in his political affiliations, but early joined the "Free Soil" movement, being one of the small number of Missourians who took a bold stand against the extension of slavery. He naturally became a supporter of the Republican party, and was a steadfast but conservative member of it to the end of his life. From 1842 until his death he was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church of St. Louis, and during the later years of his life was senior warden of its vestry. September 12, 1839, he married Miss Lucy A. Dickson, of Perry, New York. His widow and four children are the surviving members of his family. These children an. Stephen D. Barlow, Margaret D. Turner, wife of Charles H. Turner, president of the St. Louis & Suburban Railway Company; Agnes Houser, wife of D.M. Houser, president of the Globe Printing Company and publisher of the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat"; and Andrew D. Barlow, present United States consul general in Mexico.

From Wikipedia:

Leonard Wells Volk (November 7, 1828 - August 19, 1895) was an American sculptor. He is notable for making one of only two life masks of United States President Abraham Lincoln. In 1857 he helped establish the Chicago Academy of Design and served as its president until 1865. He made several large monumental sculptures, including the tomb of the politician Stephen A. Douglas, and statues of American Civil War figures.

Biography
Volk was born at Wellstown (now Wells), Hamilton County, New York to Garrett and Elizabeth (Gesner) Volk. He first followed the trade of a marble cutter with his father in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where the family moved.

Marriage and family
Before 1855 Volk married Emily Clarissa King Barlow, daughter of Honor (Douglas) and Dr. Jonathan King Barlow of Bethany, New York. A maternal cousin of hers was Stephen A. Douglas, a nationally known politician who ran against Abraham Lincoln for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 1860.

Their son Stephen A. Douglas Volk (1856–1935) as an adult became notable as a figure and portrait painter. He studied under Jean-Léon Gérome in Paris. Later he helped establish the Minneapolis School of Design.

Career
In 1848 Volk moved west and opened an artist's studio in St Louis, Missouri. From 1855-1857, Stephen A. Douglas, his wife's cousin, supported the family's travel to Rome so that Volk could pursue additional study.

Returning to the United States in 1857, Volk and his family settled in the booming city of Chicago, where he helped to establish the Chicago Academy of Design, precursor to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. For eight years, he served as its director and taught numerous students, including Elbridge Ayer Burbank, who became noted for his more than 1200 portraits of Native Americans.
In 1860 Volk made a life mask of the state senator Abraham Lincoln. Only one other was made, by Clark Mills in 1865. In the early part of spring 1860, during Lincoln's visit to Chicago, Volk asked him to sit for a bust. The artist decided to start by doing a life mask. Lincoln found the process of letting wet plaster dry on his face, followed by a skin-stretching removal process, "anything but agreeable". But he maintained good humor, and was pleased with the final bust. He declared it "the animal himself". Volk later used the life mask and bust of 1860 as the basis for other versions of Lincoln, including a full-size statue. The life mask was also studied by other artists, such as Daniel Chester French.
In mid-May 1860, Volk went to Springfield to present the Lincolns with the completed cabinet bust. He had just received the nomination as presidential candidate for the Republican Party. The following day Volk asked Lincoln to allow a casting of both his hands, for use in other sculptural works. Volk wanted Lincoln to hold something to simulate grasping a document in his right hand. Lincoln came back from his tool shed with a whittled piece of broom handle. The casting for Lincoln's right hand was made as he held the broom handle. Lincoln's left hand was cast slightly closed but empty.

Leonard Volk's family had moved to a now home in Massachusetts, and Leonard was pleased with the change. They had been in the town only a few days when Leonard, out taking a walk to explore the surrounding country,made a discovery. He saw a number of men working in a quarry amd went up to investigate. 'What are you getting out of here?" he asked, his eyes wide with wonder. "Marble," said one of the workmen briefly. Leonard knew that marble was the beautiful stone 'with which fine buildings were decorated, and out of which statues were made. He waited around and watched tha workmen and finally they let him carry home a bit of broken and discolored marble. He ran home and showed it to his mother with great pride. "What are you going to do with it?" she smiled.
" I'm going to be a marble cutter," he declared. When he grew older he actually worked as a marble cutter, to earn his living. And when he was grown up he became a famous sculptor, making lovely statues out of the marble that had charmed him since he was a small boy.
Leonard Wells Volk was born in New York, November 7, 1828.

He married EVELINE STREETER on 25 February 1858 in Adams Co Illinois. The daughter of Joshua Wood Streeter and Deliah Smith?, she was born 01 August 1837, and died 1904, burial in Woodland Cemetery, Quincy, Adams Co Illinois. Tombstone Photo by Norma Zimmerman

QUINCY AND
ADAMS COUNTY, HISTORY AND REPRESENTATIVE MEN
by David Wilcox - Lewis Publishing 1919 Vol. 2 pp. 835-836

In the invention and
use of appliances and devices for saving time and labor
in the agricultural industry, America has led the world
for many years. Hence, in part, has come the wonderful
prosperity that has made the United States the granary
of the world, her inventions making it possible to far
outdistance other lands where primitive methods of agriculture
have been retained. One of the exceedingly valuable inventions
is the corn-planter, which piece of machinery is indispensable
in the great corn belt of the country, and which, with
a few improvements, is constructed practically on the
same lines as those manufactured in Adams County, Illinois,
seventy years ago, by Joseph C.
BARLOW. He was the father of Joseph BARLOW [Jr.], one
of Quincy's representative business men of today, who
is manager of the Quincy Foundry & Novelty Company.
Joseph Barlow [Jr.] was born in this city, April 19, 1868. His parents were Joseph C. and Eveline (Streeter) Barlow, the former of whom was born in 1836, in Genesee County, New York, and the latter in Kentucky. Of their family of ten children there are four survivors, namely; John W., who is a resident of Kansas City, Missouri; Ella M., who is the widow of James W. Fairman, of Kansas City; Joseph; and Emily L., who is the wife of J.O. Glenn, of Quincy, Illinois. In 1848 Joseph C. BARLOW
came to Adams Co Illinois. He had been reared on a farm
but the possession of mechanical ability led him finally
into a manufacturing business and he produced some of
the first corn-planters used in this section, and in
the study of his product he found where a better planter
could be made and set about its invention. In time he
was successful in securing a patent for this invention,
which became known as the Barlow Corn Planter, and Mr.
BARLOW established his manufacturing plant for the same
on Front and Cedar Streets, Quincy. For many years he
continued in the active conduct of his business there,
his corn planter meeting with a wide sale and continuing
in favor long after later patented machines came upon
the market, because of its practical qualities and reasonable
cost. Mr. BARLOW died in 1895. His widow survived
many years afterward, passing away at Quincy in 1905.
Joseph BARLOW [Jr.] was educated
in the public schools of Quincy. With an inherited taste
for mechanics he then entered his father's foundry and
from the age of nineteen years to thirty he was connected
with the business of the Barlow Corn Planter Company.
In 1898 he came to the Quincy Foundry and Novelty Company,
and has continued as manager here ever since.
Mr. BARLOW was married October
25, 1893, to Miss Georgie H. BERRY,
who was born in Illinois. They have had two children neither
of whom survived infancy.Mr. BARLOW
belongs to the Rotary Club and politically is a republican
but has never been particularly active in political life
and has never sought public office.
It is a matter of some
pride to him that on the paternal side he can claim relationship
with so great a man as Stephen A Douglas, who was his father's
first cousin.

Joseph
C. BARLOW was born in Bethany, Genesee Co New
York, in 1836, and came to Quincy in 1848.

After engaging in business in Quincy for some years he lived in St. Louis
eight years, returning to Quincy in 1865. While in St. Louis, during
the war, he was cashier for the general quartermaster of the West for
three years. On returning to Quincy, Mr. BARLOW engaged in the manufacture
of corn-planters, and has since followed this business, until the name "BARLOW" is
known among the farmers all over the country.

Mr. BARLOW lives in a
fine house on North Sixth Street. His wife was Miss
Eveline STREETER, a sister of Mrs. Gov. WOOD and
Mrs. Samuel HOLMES, and they were married in 1858. Mr.
Barlow's mother, before marriage, bore the name of Honor
DOUGLAS, and was an aunt of the great Stephen A. DOUGLAS.

Norma Zimmerman, formerly of Quincy, Illinois is not related to the Barlow's but has graciously taken many of the photos of tombstones for this family from the Woodland Cemetery. Her interest in the Barlow's is with a house they had owned of which she writes: There was one house in Quincy that I use to love, it is no longer standing, as the city took it down about 10 or so years ago. The history of the house is as follows, and I don't have my records so I am doing this from memory. It was built by a by a man named Green, for a man named George Washington Graves, he in turn sold it to a man named Joseph Barlow who was married to Eveline Streeter Barlow, the sister of John Woods' second wife and they were married in the John Wood home. They lived at 317 Kentucky then on Sixth St. Then they moved to 809 N 6th St to the home built by Mr. Green. He spent $25,000.00 remodeling the home. One of his daughters was married in the home I am thinking it was Ella. In 1983 or 95 in December there was a fire in the basement of the home. The house substained a lot of damage more from the fire department trying to put it out. I found the city directory showing the house was turned into a duplex around that time address was 809 and 811 North Sixth. He died shortly after that. His wife Eveline died in either 04 or 05 she was living at 809 N. 6th. The house was left to Ella in the will she was living in Kansas City. She in turn sold the house to her sister who was married to a man named Glenn. I am thinking, at some point after that she sold the house and moved. One of her brothers was living for a while on North Sixth, the house on the northeast corner of 6th and Lind. That house is still standing, I am thinking that this brother moved to South 16th Street and later to the 200th block. I am doing this all from memory so I may have names missing

STEPHEN DOUGLAS BARLOW, JR.3 (STEPHEN2, JONATHAN1), was born June 1845 in St. Louis Missouri, and died 20 February 1917 in Springfield, Sangamon Co Illinois, burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Sangamon Co Illinois.

MARGARET 'MAGGIE' DICKSON BARLOW3, (STEPHEN2, JONATHAN1), was born October 1849 in New York.

She married CHARLES HUNT TURNER in 1870. The son of Henry Smith Turner and Julia Hunt, he was born 14 December 1849 in St. Louis Missouri, and died 22 February 1906 in New York, burial in Calvary Cemetery, St Louis, St Louis Missouri. Death Certificate

The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, Volume 12

TURNER, Charles Hunt, merchant and capitalist, was born in St. Louis, Mo., in December, 1849, son of Henry S. and Julia M. (Hunt) Turner. His father, a native of Virginia, was a graduate of West Point, was assistant U. S. treasurer in St. Louis, and president of the Union National and the Lucas Bank. The son was educated in the St. Louis schools and Seton Hall College, New Jersey. He began his business career at the age of twenty in the real estate business, under the name of Charles H. Turner & Co., and met with immediate and continuous success. When his company was merged in the Commonwealth Trust Co. in 1901, he was its president until he resigned in February, 1903. He was appointed financial agent of the Prudential Insurance Co.. a position he held for eight years, and on the reorganization of the St. Louis and Suburban railway he became its president and held the office twelve years, during which the policy of the company expanded and the service to the traveling public was greatly improved. He devoted very close attention to the development of its property, and at the time of his resignation the road was paying a substantial dividend, and had a standing as one of the best equipped and best managed in the West. He is also a member of the board of directors of many of the leading institutions of St. Louis, among which are the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and Mechanics' National Bank, and he was a director of the St. Louis exposition, in which he served as a member of the committee on transportation and as vice-chairman of the committee on police. He is a member of the St. Louis, the University, and Noonday clubs.

He was married in 1870, to Margaret E., daughter of Stephen D. Barlow, of St. Louis, Mo., and has two sons, Hunt and Douglass Turner, and one daughter, the wife of Duncan Joy.

Charles Turner was born in 1849 to Henry S. Turner and Julia Hunt. Henry Turner was a West Point graduate and classmate and friend of William T. Sherman who served with Stephan Kearney in the Mexican-American War. Julia Hunt was the daughter of Theodore Hunt, a naval officer and favorite in St. Louis social circles, and Anne Lucas, the only daughter of J.B.C. Lucas, one of the earliest settlers of St. Louis and one of its wealthiest and most influential citizens. H.S. Turner, with the support of his wife’s powerful family, would serve as a member of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen, the Missouri State Legislature, and as Assistant United States Treasurer. In the 1880 census, he listed his occupation as “retired capitalist.” In the 1870’s, H.S. Turner, as a member of the Board of Aldermen, would introduce legislation that established the street car system in St. Louis. Within a few years, his son Charles would own the company that his father helped to establish.
Charles Turner, according to Jeremiah Fruin, was an original member of the Union Base Ball Club of St. Louis. Other members of Turner’s social set who were members of the club included his cousin Robert Lucas, Shepard Barkley, Joseph Charles Cabanne, Orrick Bishop, and Harry Carr. Turner, a catcher, was described as a part of the original battery of the Union nine. He also pitched and played second base for the club. His membership in the original Union Club raises some questions. If the club was founded in the early 1860’s at about the same time as the Empire Club (and they were certainly playing baseball by 1861) then Turner could not have been an original member, being too young. It’s most likely that Turner did not join the club until after the Civil War.
In 1875, Turner was involved in the founding of the Brown Stockings. With the urging of newspaper men W.C. Steigers and R.P. Thompson, “several young St. Louisans of prominence” set up an organization to create a professional baseball team in St. Louis that could compete with the professional Chicago White Stockings. The board of directors that was elected to run the new organization included J.B.C Lucas, president; W.C. Steigers, vice-president; Charles A. Fowle, secretary; and Charles Turner, treasurer. Other members of the board included Orrick Bishop, William Medart, and Joseph Carr. Interestingly, the Union Club was heavily represented on the board with Turner, Steigers, and Bishop all being members and with the possibility that Lucas and Carr were as well. The Lucas family was also well represented with Turner joining his cousin J.B.C. Lucas on the board.
While it’s unknown exactly what role Turner played with the Brown Stockings, he was involved, according to Jon David Cash, in the signing of the Louisville players in 1877. These signings which were an attempt to duplicate Chicago’s raid on the Boston Red Stockings, coupled with the gambling scandal that involved both the signed Louisville players as well as members of the Brown Stocking nine, helped to bring about the collapse of the Brown Stockings organization and the experiment with professional baseball in St. Louis.
It’s difficult to overstate the prominence of Charles Turner in 19th century St. Louis. Not only was he a member of the wealthiest St. Louis family, he also married into another prominent family. His wife Margaret was the daughter of Stephen Barlow, the cousin of Stephen Douglas and a wealthy politician and railroad magnate in St. Louis. Turner himself was the president of the Suburban Railway Company, which owned the St. Louis street car system, and the Commonwealth Trust Company. He was described by Lincoln Steffens as being a millionaire and served on the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners in the 1880’s. Turner also was a member of the Board of Directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, which raised the money to put on the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.
Turner’s influence in St. Louis was exposed in a negative way by Steffen in 1902. In what became known as “The Boodle Scandal,” Turner was shown to have been a member of a cabal that bribed city aldermen and state legislators in order to get legislation passed that was favorable to their business interests. In grand jury testimony, Turner was shown to have paid over $144,000 in bribes to secure legislation that would double the value of the Suburban Railway Company, which he was looking to sell. The case was tied up in court for several years and Turner died in 1906 before facing the legal consequences of his actions.
While “The Boodle Scandal” and Steffen’s exposes may have tarnished Turner’s reputation, his legacy was saved by the service of his grandson. Charles Turner Joy was the son of Charles Turner’s only daughter, Lucy Barlow Turner, and Duncan Joy. He graduated from Annapolis in 1916 and served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. During Korea, Rear Admiral Charles Turner Joy served as Commander of Naval Forces, Far East. After he passed away in 1956, a destroyer was named after him. The USS Turner Joy served the nation proudly until it was decommissioned in 1982.

Charles H. Turner was mentioned several times in the following article concerning the De Hodiamont Car House Historic District: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/05000012.pdf which seems to verify the information of Jeffrey Kittel.

VOLK, Stephen Arnold Douglas, artist, was born at Pittsfleld, Mass., February 23, 1851, son of Leonard Wells and Emily Clarissa (Barlow) Volk. When quite young he removed with his parents to Chicago, Ill., where he grew up in a home atmosphere conducive to artistic development, although doing no work in either drawing or painting until he was fourteen years old, when he went to Rome on a visit with his father and mother. Here he became acquainted with several artists, and growing interested in their work, began to paint for himself, although without any other instruction than what he chanced to pick up. He attended the St. Luke's Academy, the French school in Rome, and occasionally "gigis" night class, but without aid from any teacher. When the family left Rome young Volk desired to remain and continue his art work, and after some deliberation he was allowed to do so. Two Russians, Oroloski aud Bogoluboff, were an especial inspiration to him about this time. His work while in Rome was chiefly landscapes, scenes from the Campagna and the environs of the city. In 1873 he studied in Paris, where by means of a permit from Gerome he was admitted to his class in the Ecole des Beaux Arts, working there for two years. In 1875 he exhibited his first work in the salon, being one of the youngest of that year's exhibitors. The subject of this piece is a landscape and peasant girl, called " En Bretague." Soon after, Mr. Volk returned-to America, and exhibited at the Centennial in 1876. Revisiting Paris, he worked under Gerome and exhibited in the Salon of 1878 a portrait of "Miss T." He also made a sketching tour through England, spending much time in Warwickshire. Upon his return to America, in 1879, he was offered a professorship in Cooper Institute, New York City, was elected a member of the Society of American Artists, and exhibited a number of paintings, among others, "The Puritan Maiden," "Accused of Witchcraft." and a portrait of "Miss H." In 1889, at the Paris exposition, he showed "The Captives," purchased by George I. Seney of New York, and "The Bride," owned by E. J. Phelps of Minneapolis. During his residence in the latter city, Mr. Volk devoted himself to the school of fine arts, which he founded in 1886 under the auspices of the Fine Art Society, but in October, 185)3, he became instructor in the Art Students' League and Cooper Institute, New York city. He was made a member of t he national jury of selection for painting at the Columbian exposition, held in Chicago, 1893, and also exhibited there three pictures, "Mending the Canoe," "The Puritan Maiden," and "Portrait of Mrs. Lowry." He was awarded a medal for his exhibit. Other important pictures are "Autumn" (1893); "Flower of the Colony" (1894); "Motherhood" (1895); and the "Puritan Mother" (1897). Mr. Volk has taken much interest in the matter of art education in the public schools, having written and lectured considerably on the subject, with a view to the introduction of more artistic methodsand a higher standard of teaching, as opposed to the usual mechanical systems in art instruction. He has published "Art Instruction in the Public Schools" (1894).
He was married, June 25, 1881, to Marion B.. daughter of William M. and Margaret (Haight) Larrabee of Chicago. They have had four children: Leonard Douglas, Wendell, Gerome and Marion Volk, the first deceased.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Douglas Volk, named Stephen Arnold Douglas Volk (23 February 1856-1935) was an American portrait and landscape painter. He helped establish the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. After 1904 he and his wife Marion created an artists' retreat at their family home, Hewnoaks, in Maine. She became active in the production of woolen textiles and rugs by traditional processes, and formed a group called Sabatos.

Early life and education
Douglas was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to Emily Clarissa King (Barlow) Volk and the sculptor Leonard Wells Volk. He was named after his mother's maternal cousin Stephen A. Douglas.
After studying in the United States, Douglas Volk went to Paris, where he was a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme. He exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1875. He also studied in Rome.

Marriage and family
In 1881 Volk married the artist Marion Larrabee, the first instructor at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts, now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. It originally served mostly women students.
Their children were the following:
Wendell (1888–1953), printmaker and woodcarver, who married Jessie J. McCoig, also an artist (b. ?-2004)
Marion, who married Mr. Bridges.
Lawrence

Career
Volk was a working artist and teacher. He taught at Cooper Union (1879-94; 1908-12), the New York Art Students League, and the National Academy of Design in New York City. He also taught at the Society for Ethical Culture established by Felix Adler.

Official description: "Douglas Volk’s son, Leo, sits in a lush field at twilight, catching his breath from a day's excitement outdoors. He holds the arrow in a relaxed grip, as a confident young hunter would carry his spear. Leo occupies a transitional time in life, no longer a boy and not yet a man.

BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY
Joy, Charles Turner (Feb. 17, 1895 - June 6, 1956), naval officer, was born in St. Louis, Mo., the son of Duncan Joy, a prosperous cotton broker, and Lucy Barlow Turner. Joy was educated at private secondary schools prior to entering the U.S. Naval Academy in 1912. He was graduated and commissioned ensign in 1916.
Joy first served in the battleship Pennsylvania, which became the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet and late in 1918 escorted the ship carrying President Woodrow Wilson to the Paris Peace Conference. In 1921 he was selected for the navy's elite postgraduate program in ordnance engineering. He continued that course for the next two years at various places, including the University of Michigan, from which he received the M.S. in 1922. During 1923-1925, as a lieutenant, he had his first duty in the Far East, serving on the staff of the commander of the Yangtze Patrol. On Oct. 16, 1924, Joy married Martha Ann Chess; they had three children.
Over the next seventeen years Joy served at sea as the executive officer of destroyer Pope and assistant gunnery officer in battleship California, and on the staff of the commander of destroyers, Battle Force. His first command was of the destroyer Litchfield in 1933-1935. These tours alternated with shore billets in his ordnance specialty, including assignments in the aviation ordnance section of the Bureau of Ordnance, the Naval Mine Depot at Yorktown, Va., and the ordnance and gunnery department at the Naval Academy.
In 1941-1942, Joy served in the Pacific on board the cruiser Indianapolis and later the carrier Lexington as operations officer for the commander of the Scouting Force. Despite the alleged battleship orientation of the gunnery specialists, Joy was decorated early in the war for planning successful carrier task force engagements with Japanese forces near Rabaul and New Guinea. Later in 1942 he took command of the cruiser Louisville, which subsequently saw combat in the Solomons and Aleutians campaigns.
From August 1943 to April 1944, Joy headed the Pacific Plans Division in the Washington headquarters of the Navy. At the end of that tour he was promoted to rear admiral and returned to the combat zone as commander of Cruiser Division 6. During the next year Joy participated in virtually all of the major operations marking the American advance across the Pacific, including the Marianas campaign, the recapture of the Philippines, the seizure of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and fast carrier task force raids against other Japanese positions. His forces were noted for their effective shore bombardment and antiaircraft gunnery.
Near the end of World War II, Joy commanded Amphibious Group 2, which was preparing for the invasion of Japan. Detached in September 1945, he proceeded to China, where for the next eight months he commanded Task Force 73 and later Task Force 74 operating in the Yangtze River and from Hong Kong. These units cleared mines, transported Chinese troops reoccupying Japanese positions, and undertook other postwar operations. From 1946 to 1949, Joy resumed his ordnance specialty as commander of the Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren, Va., which tested and assisted in the development of new naval ordnance.
In August 1949, Joy was promoted to vice admiral and appointed commander of the U.S. Naval Force, Far East, with headquarters in Tokyo. Upon the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, he became the Allied naval commander for that conflict. His ships landed Allied troops in the war zone and supported them with supplies, gunfire, and carrier air strikes; blockaded North Korea; undertook mine-sweeping; and patrolled the Taiwan Straits to prevent hostile action between mainland China and Taiwan. Joy was a key leader in the highly successful Inchon landing of September 1950. By November 1950 he commanded 400 Allied and American ships.
For ten months after July 1951, Joy additionally served as the senior United Nations delegate at the Korean Armistice Conference held at Kaesong and, later, Panmunjom. For his role in these almost daily negotiations, Joy received worldwide notice for his calm, tenacious, but fruitless efforts to achieve a cease-fire agreement. He asked to be relieved of his assignment in May 1952. Following the Korean armistice of 1953, he wrote How Communists Negotiate (1955). Joy concluded that only the "imminent threat of application of our military power" would compel Communist governments throughout the world to "negotiate seriously." He wrote that the "greatest single influence on the Korean armistice negotiations was the failure of the United States to take punitive action" against China following its entry into the conflict. Because of the failure of American will to seek military victory, Joy believed that the 1953 armistice represented a triumph for mainland China.
Joy served as superintendent of the Naval Academy from 1952 to 1954, then retired with the rank of admiral. He died in San Diego, Calif.
The career of this reserved, modest, and thoroughly competent naval officer was notable for its versatility. He was a highly effective operational commander and planner who displayed flexibility in integrating new air and amphibious tactics into the fleet. He made significant contributions as an ordnance specialist. Finally, in his role as negotiator and through his writings on the relationship of force and diplomacy, Joy was an important figure in the history of American foreign relations in the period after World War II.

Frederick William Lehmann, father of Sears Lehmann, from Wikipedia:

Frederick William Lehmann (1853–1931) was a prominent American lawyer, statesman, United States Solicitor General, and rare book collector.
Biography
He was born February 28, 1853 in Prussia. His father Friedrich Wilhelm Lehmann emigrated to Cincinnati, Ohio, when Frederick was two, where he ruled the family with an iron hand. His mother Sophia died young.
At age 10, Frederick ran away from home forever. As a vagabond, selling newspapers, working on farms, and herding sheep, he wandered across the Midwest, rarely going to school. In his teens, at the urging of his fellow sheep men, he took the stump for presidential candidate Horace Greeley and gave his first political speech.
At 17 he worked as a farm-hand for Judge Epenetus Sears of Tabor, Iowa. Sears was impressed with the boy's ability and sent him to Tabor College, where he graduated in 1873. After "reading law" in his benefactor's office, Lehmann practiced in Tabor, Sidney, Nebraska City, and Des Moines, Iowa. He married Nora Stark of Indianola on December 23, 1879, and he represented the Wabash Railroad.
A noted orator, he was active in Iowa politics, including the election of Governor Horace Boies. In 1890 he moved with his family to St. Louis, Missouri and continued to represent the Wabash while building a general law practice. In 1908 he was elected president of the American Bar Association and served twice.
President William Howard Taft named Lehmann as United States Solicitor General in 1910. In the Supreme Court of the United States Lehmann established the right to tax corporation incomes. He considered national bank affiliates to be illegal. About Lehmann's oral arguments, Justice Louis Brandeis said: "He was so eloquent, you hated to rule against Lehmann; you felt as though you were ruling against God."
In 1912 he returned to practice law in St. Louis with his sons. In 1914, however, he and Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar represented the United States at the ABC Powers Conference in which Argentina, Brazil, and Chile mediated between the United States and Mexico on the Veracruz Incident. Cases in his private practice established the right of the Associated Press to news as intellectual property, and he secured the Telephone Company's right to valuation on reproduction cost less depreciation.
In 1918 he became counsel for the United States Railway Wage Commission. He supported the forced separation of investment banks, commercial banks and brokerages (a policy later implemented in the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933) quoting: "One man cannot serve two masters." He also vigorously opposed Prohibition.
Representing the U. S. government in the Supreme Court, he would "confess judgment", a practice in which the Solicitor General admits that the government has been wrong all along and just drops the case even when supported by a lower court's prior decision. Inscribed in the office rotunda of the Attorney General is Lehmann's famous saying: "The United States wins its point whenever justice is done its citizens in the courts."
Frederick Lehmann always refused to run for public office, especially at a party convention of the breakaway Gold Democrats (opposed to the Free Silver candidate William Jennings Bryan) in St. Louis which he chaired (being foreign-born, he could not run for President anyway), and he declined judgeships. In politics he was generally a Democrat, if sometimes a Gold Democrat. In 1909 he drafted the charter by which the City of St. Louis is still run today.
He was a founder of the St. Louis Art Museum and the State Historical Society of Missouri, president of the St. Louis Public Library, and a director of the St. Louis World's Fair (Louisiana Purchase Exposition) of 1904, in which he was host of the Universal Congress of Jurists and Lawyers. He was a bibliophile and he collected rare first editions of Charles Dickens, Robert Burns and others, and artworks of Aubrey Beardsley, George Cruikshank and Thomas Rowlandson. He and industrialist William K. Bixby started the Burns Society; he was twice president of the University Club of St. Louis. He had a remarkable (possibly eidetic) memory --- when writer Henry James visited his house, Lehmann could recite whole works that James himself had written but forgotten. For most his life Lehmann was in demand as a public speaker, which he thoroughly enjoyed. His published works included: John Marshall (1901); The Lawyer in American History (1906); Abraham Lincoln (1908); Conservatism in Legal Procedure (1909); Prohibition (1910); and The Law and the Newspaper (1917).
In old age he auctioned off his rare book collections. He died September 12, 1931, aged 78, survived by his wife and three sons, lawyers Sears Lehmann, Frederick W. Lehmann, Jr., and John Stark Lehmann.
Three special collections at Olin Library, Washington University in St. Louis, include a selection of Lehmann's legal papers (including his time as Solicitor General), a collection of historic manuscript letters of notable people, and rare editions of works of Robert Burns and others. There is also a Frederick Lehmann Autograph Collection at the Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis.
Frederick W. Lehmann's house at No. 10 Benton Place in St. Louis is now preserved as the "Lehmann House" Bed and Breakfast.

“Queen Mary’s Lament” Autograph draft, 1791. 1 item (3 pp.). This draft of “Queen Mary’s Lament” is reproduced in facsimile in Poems and Letters in the Handwriting of Robert Burns (1908) in which it is noted that the original is in the possession of Frederick W. Lehmann. The poem later passed into the hands of his son, Sears L. Lehmann. The draft shows that the poem passed from Gilbert Burns, the poet’s brother, to James Gills of Edinburgh in 1814. The draft has been laminated and sewn into a stiff paper folder. Comparison with the facsimile cited above shows that the draft has been damaged since 1908. The leaves have become detached, the corners chipped, and pieces are broken from the top of both leaves. There are also tears in the folds and wax stains, one in blue, from the wax seal attached by Gilbert Burns. Sears gifted the draft to the Washington University, St Louis Missouri.

He married EMMA V. GARESCHE on 15 November 1916 in St Louis, St Louis Missouri. The daughter of Edmund A.B. Garesche and Emma Jennings, she was born 14 February 1895 in Missouri, and died 14 November 1980 in Ballwin, St Louis Co Missouri.

Centennial History of Missouri.

Douglas B. Houser, vice president of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, was born in this city August 28, 1892, and is a son of the late Daniel M. Houser. The father was born in Washington county, Maryland, December 23, 1834, and was a son of Elias and Eliza Houser. He was a youth in his fifth year at the time of his parents' removal to Clark county, Missouri, whence they came to St. Louis in 1846. He had no educational advantages other than those afforded by the public schools and the year 1851, when he was sixteen years of age, saw him facing the problems of the business world with a career of success or failure before him, as he should make it.
His first service was in a humble capacity in the workrooms of the Union, a newspaper which was merged into the Missouri Democrat upon its purchase by the firm of Hill & McKee. The history of its evolution is contained elsewhere in this volume. It is inseparably interwoven with the annals of St. Louis and its record omitted from history's pages would leave but a garbled version of growth and development here. Marshall Field, master of finance and merchant prince, gave this advice to young men: "Try always to be ahead of your position and increase your efficiency." Although the words were not uttered at the time of Mr. Houser's early connection with the Globe-Democrat, the spirit was his in his embryonic business career.
He won his promotions and they signified a recognition of his general worthiness and specific business ability. He had been with the paper but a few years when he became bookkeeper and afterward general business manager. About the time he attained his majority Francis P. Blair purchased the interest of the senior partner in the Democrat and following his retirement from connection with the paper Daniel M. Houser acquired a pecuniary interest. At that day even the most progressive newspaper had but a comparatively small equipment, its presses and other office accessories being of the most crude character as compared with those of the present day. Mr. Houser stood in the position of leadership in the west in the advance which has particularly revolutionized the newspaper business until the journal of today is in touch with every section of the globe and presents every subject, as news items or in discussion that is of any interest to classes or to the general public. While the paper has kept abreast with the times in its search for matters of presentation through its columns the work of the office has been carried on in the most systematic manner every detail carefully watched with no loss of time or labor, so that maximum results are obtained by minimum effort, which is the secret of all real success.
Mr. Houser succeeded to the presidency of the Globe Printing Company upon the death of his predecessor Mr. McKee. He was for many years a director of the Western Associated Press and shared with Richard Smith, W. N. Haldeman, Murat Halstead, Joseph Medill and other well known newspaper men in planning the operation that has resulted in giving to the public the journal of today, which is a combination of the magazine and the newspaper. There was no work, movement or measure of vital interest to the city which did not elicit the attention of Mr. Houser and all such which his judgment endorsed as beneficial or progressive received his personal cooperation as well as his journalistic support. It was therefore to be expected that he would be among the first to father the interests of St. Louis in connection with an exposition project and he became one of the incorporators and original directors of the St. Louis Exposition, contributing in substantial measure to the success of that great fair. Entirely free from ostentation, there was about him neither the least shadow of mock modesty. He was a gentleman of fine address and thorough culture, whose citizenship was a synonym for patriotism and whose business career was characterized no less for the integrity of its methods than for its progressiveness and its success. He was honored not only on account of the enviable position which he occupied in journalistic circles but also because of the many kindly deeds of his life, which were ever quietly and unostentatiously performed.
His death occurred October 10, 1915, when he had reached the venerable age of eighty years.
It was in 1862 that Daniel M. Houser was married to Miss Margaret Ingram, of St. Louis, and they became the parents of two sons and a daughter, Mrs. W.I. Aderton, of St. Louis. The wife and mother passed away in February, 1880, and nine years later Mr. Houser married Miss Agnes Barlow, a daughter of Stephen D. Barlow. She had reached the age of forty-six years when she was called to her final rest on the 12th of May, 1907. She left three children: Agnes Malotte, the wife of Sears Lehmann, a son of Frederick W. Lehmann; Douglas B., of this review; and Duncan P.
Douglas B. Houser was educated in Smith Academy of St. Louis and at Yale University from which he won his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1914. Following his graduation he entered the service of the Globe-Democrat as a reporter and from that position worked his way upward to the editorial and business department and in December, 1918, was elected vice president of the company. This advancement has marked his gradual progress and developing experience in the newspaper field through many years. He has done with thoroughness everything he has undertaken and is today an executive officer of one of the great dailies of the country.
In St. Louis, on the 15th of November, 1916, Mr. Houser was married to Miss Emma Garesche, a daughter of E. A. B. and Emma (Jennings) Garesche, the former a prominent attorney of St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Houser have a daughter, Nancy Malotte, who was born September 8, 1918, and a son, D. B. Houser, Jr., born March 6, 1920, in St. Louis.
During the World war Douglas B. Houser served as corporal of Company G of the First Regiment of the Missouri Home Guard. His brother, Duncan Houser, served in the United States navy, which he joined as an ensign and was advanced to the rank of junior lieutenant. He served on a convoy and also on the ship that conveyed Secretary of War Baker to France. In his political views Douglas B. Houser is a stalwart republican, having given unfaltering allegiance It the party since age conferred upon him the right of franchise. In his college days he became a member of the Alpha Delta Phi. He is prominently known in the club circles of St. Louis, belonging to the University, Racquet, St. Louis and Advertising Clubs. He is also connected with the Chamber of Commerce and cooperates most heartily in all those activities which have to do with the city's development, the extension of its trade relations and the maintenance of high civic standards. An Episcopalian in religious faith he is a communicant of St. Peter's church. He belongs to one of the old, prominent and honored families of St. Louis and following in his father's footsteps has made for himself an enviable position in journalistic circles of the Mississippi valley.
